There's a land beyond the river
That we call the sweet forever
And we only reach that shore by faith's decree
One by one we'll gain the portals
There to dwell with the immortals
When they ring those golden bells for you and me
Well, there's a land (There's a land beyond the river)
That we call (That we call the sweet forever)
And we only (and we only) reach that shore (reach that shore by) by faith's decree (faith's decree, faith's decree, faith's decree)
In that far (In that far-off sweet forever)
Oh, Just beyond (Just beyond the shining river)
Oh, When they ring (When they ring those golden bells)
Oh, When they ring (When they ring those golden bells)
Oh, When they ring (When they ring those golden bells) for you and me (for you and me)
Oh, Can't you hear (Can't you hear the bells a ringing?)
Oh, Can't you hear (Can't you hear the angels singing?)
It's the glory (It's the glory) hallelujah (hallelujah) jubilee (jubilee, jubilee, jubilee)
In that far (In that far-off sweet forever)
Just beyond (Just beyond the shining river)
Oh, When they ring (When they ring those golden bells)
Oh, When they ring (When they ring those golden bells)
Oh, When they ring (When they ring those golden bells) for you and me (for you and me)
